Indians lose Carlos Carrasco to hamstring injury
The Cleveland Indians lost starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to a hamstring injury in the third inning of a 6-3 win over Detroit on Sunday, and the prognosis doesn’t look great.
“It’s going to be a DL situation, but we’re just hoping it isn’t terrible,” Manager Terry Francona said. “We sent him back to Cleveland, because without an MRI, we’re not going to know anything.”
Carrasco had given up one hit when Andrew Romine nubbed a slow roller to the right side of the infield. Carrasco covered the bag, but had to reach back for Carlos Santana’s throw and hit the base at an awkward angle.
He recorded the out but immediately fell to the ground, grabbing the back of his leg.

Avila is batting .214 in 10 games. He was injured running the bases in the sixth inning Saturday.
